The Nevada Cooperative Extension Service is one of the three branches of agricultural education. Founded in Nevada as a result of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, it organized scores of clubs for young people that were the predecessor of the 4-H Club, and worked closely with the Nevada Farm Bureau. In 1938, The Nevada Farm Bureau and the Extension Service purchased a tract of land at Tahoe; a camp was established on the property owned by the state, paid for by the counties, and managed by the Extension Service. Cecil Creel was director of the Extension Service, but Thomas Buckman was the administrator. In 1961, Raymond Cox became the 4-H program director.

The Cooperative Extension Service was founded in Nevada as a result of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914, and quickly put the University in close contact with rural Nevada. It organized clubs for young people, sent agricultural advisors into Nevada communities offering lectures and demonstrations to housewives, ranchers, and stockmen, and worked closely with the Nevada Farm Bureau. Cecil Creel served as Director of the Cooperative Extension Service, 1921-1952.
